Maduro has possible legal challenges – likely long shots – we will see at some point.
1) Head of State and Official Acts Immunity – provides that the current head of a foreign state may not be tried either criminally or civilly in a US court. The question = Maduro a “current head of a foreign state”.
2) Official Acts Immunity – Maduro may claim the accused illegal acts were official conduct and those cannot be prosecuted. Will the Courts accept the executive branch’s assertion that the activities are not “official” acts. The Supreme Court has yet to resolve this and have characterized it as “thorny” question.
3) Venue – Current law states that defendants from other countries must be tried “in the district in which the offender ... is arrested or first brought”. Before arriving in New York State, there was a stop in Guantanamo Bay. Maduro could argue he was not “first brought” to SDNY, therefore the case is null.

Sandi Bachom filmed the #SDNY press conference when #Epstein was arrested. Geoffrey Berman stated exactly what was confiscated by the FBI when they raided Epstein’s mansion. Tapes, hard drives, 1700 photos on the walls. They fired Berman not long after.

when corrupt #DEA officials need a way to launder #cocaine money for the #cartels, they choose #crypto
(also i noticed that #SDNY didn’t name which #cryptocurrency but it’s been #HowardLutnick's #Tether #USDT pretty much 100% of the time in the ~20 similar indictments i’ve personally read so it feels pretty sus that the name of the token was omitted)

#JayClayton, a former corporate lawyer who served as the #SEC chair during the first #Trump admin, was nominated by the president to be the #USattorney for the #SDNY in January, but his confirmation was blocked by NY’s senior Democratic senator, #ChuckSchumer. Clayton was then appointed on an interim basis in April, & in August, the judges of Manhattan’s Federal District Court appointed him to the post, meaning he could serve for the rest of Trump’s term.
AG #PamBondi’s assignment to #SDNY of an investigation into #BillClinton could create significant conflict within an office known for its investigative might & #independence.
The office’s leadership flatly refused strong-arm pressure from the #DOJ to sign off on withdrawal of the bribery indictment of Mayor #EricAdams of NYC earlier this year, prompting a wave of resignations & forcing a top Bondi aide to appear on behalf of the govt to make the request in court himself.
